When you are a brand - say Coca Cola, Red Bull, Heineken - you segment your products so specific audiences. You'll try to pitch Diet Coke to female teenagers or Coke Zero to recently divorced, middle-aged dads, for example. Red Bull, on the other hand, might target some of its ...
In my second year of university – after I settled into my new city and surroundings – I thought I’d try my hand at freelancing. I was studying Politics and always enjoyed writing, but never thought I could make a career of it. After all, writing jobs are few and ...

Not so long ago leaving university with a good degree was considered enough to secure a decent job and set you up on a high flying career path. However, over the last few years’ students have been bombarded with scary statistics about the gloomy outlook of the graduate job market. With increased fees ...
In February 2016, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to speak at the Student Enterprise Conference 2016. I enjoyed speaking about my journey since starting my business at the conference and I was completely overwhelmed with the response I got from the audience after finishing my talk. ...
Universities in the UK are among the highest ranking in the world, 16 of which appeared in this year’s Times Higher Education University Rankings table. It’s not surprising therefore that in 2015 over 400,000 international students decided to continue their further education in the UK. It does not stop ...
The million dollar question for many young people today is whether to take an established job, or to chase their dreams in a startup? Having a regular job, confined to a limited number of hours is no bad thing and was created to improve the lives of workers. But slowly, ...
We've achieved a great deal in a short number of years, though there's much more too do in supporting our mission of 'Powering the Enterprise Generation'.
NACUE is a charitable organisation that supports 32,000 students and young people every year. As funding becomes harder to obtain, we rely on the generous support of donors to ensure our programs can continue to change the lives and aspirations of the younger generation.
A donation of any size goes a long way to furthering our work and really is greatly appreciated. Every gift matters in aiding our mission of ‘Powering the Enterprising Generation' but we mainly rely upon the generosity of our members and alumni to do this. By making a single or regular donation you can make a big difference. To learn more about how you can donate, please follow the links below.
NACUE are delighted to have supported a huge number of student-led societies over the years. You can see the number of established student-led societies on an interactive map below

Our events offer the young people we work with the opportunity to connect with our wider network, the experts and seasoned entrepreneurs in our community and the chance to be inspired to take the leap of faith into entrepreneurship. These events are attended by students and graduates from universities and colleges up and down the UK, as well as students from across Europe. Student Societies take centre stage at our events, alongside innovators, game changers and trail blazers of the UK startup ecosystem.
It has been a great pleasure working closely with NACUE. NACUE has supported me both on big and small issues within my role. Without NACUE’s support, Entrepreneurs Durham wouldn’t be where it is today.
The pleasure of seeing young people start something from nothing and watching them as they’re growing is wonderful. If we hadn’t had NACUE, we couldn’t do a lot of what we’re doing now. I can absolutely, categorically say that.
I am enjoying it (the enterprise society) a lot, and it’s great to be achieving something real. So often in college we plan to the point of doing the activity but then never actually do it.
